Estate Sale Finds

This sale was crazy! The house was PACKED full of all kinds of things, and it was super crowded on the day I went. I wanted to take some pictures inside but it was too busy. I would have loved to go back the last day and dig some more, because who knows what cool stuff was hiding in all the boxes and on all the packed shelves! Here is what I ended up with:

SCORE!! You totally won the Superbowl in my book, Rae ;) What a palm full of adorable lil stuff! My friend's mom calls littles "gegaws". Fits, right? Let us know if that pup radio works and how much was the Kokeshi? I want to kick Ebay in the crotch for how high those things even start at. Great haul! :)

Oh man! I skipped out on the sales this weekend, but your description of the melee that was entering the house has me sad I did, I love a good hard-scrabble sale! And look at the stuff you got, I think the radio bear and the (AWESOME, OMG, ACTUALLY AWESOME) ET guy was worth it. Your ever-growing button collection, additionally, makes me so jealous. Cheescake and Onions? On a button? YES.

E.T. rules. You always find such amazing stuff at estate sales. The estate sales that post pics online always seem a bit.. bland & boring. Is it because they don't post pictures of the junk & only of the "big stuff" & things they think are "collectible" ?

Wow you found such great things! I too can't leave behind certain stuffed animals..if I knew how to sew I'd make them clothes so they could have makeovers ;) I've never seen one with a radio in it! Too cool. But my favorite actually are the pins, especially the cheesecake one!

Ok...I'm on a mission now to find some pins like that :) I was wondering if there was an identifying info on the back? A company name or anything? When googling for it I just get a lot of vintage pin up stuff, lol!

the kokeshi is gorgeous-does it have anything written on the base? my overall fave has to be the radio-pup, i have a soft spot for ugly cuddly toys too.can you imaging the orginal kid owners face when they got that for christmas or a birthday-serious high-tech lol! so glad you could linky up x
